Naval Contracts are the ship-focused side quests scattered across the Caribbean in Assassin’s Creed Black Flag Resynced. Each one sends the Jackdaw out to sink, board, protect, or loot, and each pays out a solid chunk of Reales. There are 15 in total, and clearing every one is part of reaching 100% completion.
Quick answer: Finish the This Old Cove main mission in Sequence 4, then talk to Milo at the docks in Great Inagua to start A Spanish Plague. Completing that first contract unlocks the rest on your world map.
How to unlock Naval Contracts
Naval Contracts do not appear until you have progressed the main story. Complete the This Old Cove main mission during Sequence 4, then head to Great Inagua and speak to an NPC named Milo standing at the docks. He hands you the first contract, A Spanish Plague.
Once A Spanish Plague is done, the remaining contracts populate the quest log on your map and can be accepted from their marked start points. From there it is a matter of sailing to each location and completing the combat objective.
Every Naval Contract location and reward
Each contract is accepted from a specific dock or handler. Base payouts scale with difficulty, running from 1,200 Reales for the easiest jobs up to 2,400 Reales for the hardest. The Final Contract instead pays out in gear.
| Contract | Where to accept it | Base reward |
|---|---|---|
| A Spanish Plague | Great Inagua (Milo at the docks) | 1,200 Reales |
| Silk On The Waves | Salt Key Bank (man at the docks) | 1,200 Reales |
| Weathering The Storm | Nassau (man at the docks) | 1,200 Reales |
| Driftwood | Andreas Island (man at the docks) | 1,800 Reales |
| Eye For An Eye | Great Inagua (Milo at the docks) | 1,800 Reales |
| The Law Of The Ocean | Havana (man at the docks) | 1,800 Reales |
| A Personal Matter | Crooked Island (man at the docks) | 1,800 Reales |
| Blind Justice | Great Inagua (Milo at the docks) | Reales |
| Papers, Please | Great Inagua (Milo in the town) | Reales |
| Hunter Gatherer | Ile A Vache (man at the docks) | 2,400 Reales |
| Smuggler’s Den | Kingston (man at the docks) | 2,400 Reales |
| The Realities Of War | Grand Cayman (man at the docks) | 2,400 Reales |
| Private Escort | Corozal (man next to the Harbourmaster) | 2,400 Reales |
| Contraband | Arroyos (man at the docks) | 2,400 Reales |
| The Final Contract | Great Inagua (Milo by the manor) | Handsome Devils Crew Attire, Black Skull Sails |
Bonus objectives for extra Reales
Most contracts carry an optional secondary challenge. Meeting it pays additional Reales on top of the base reward, so it is worth planning your approach before you open fire.
| Contract | Bonus objective |
|---|---|
| Eye For An Eye | Incapacitate the San Lorenzo Frigate without using mortars (+900 Reales) |
| Blind Justice | Sink the 3 escort ships before boarding the British Man O’ War (+900 Reales) |
| Papers, Please | Board the HMS Courage instead of sinking it (+1,200 Reales) |
| A Personal Matter | Board the HMS Defiance Frigate instead of sinking it (+900 Reales) |
| The Law Of The Ocean | Sink one of the ships using fire barrels (+900 Reales) |
| Weathering The Storm | Sink 2 of the 5 British fleet ships using a mortar (+600 Reales) |
| The Realities Of War | Sink a Spanish ship using the mortar (+1,200 Reales) |
| Private Escort | Keep the Neptuno at 50% health or above until you reach open water in Serranilla (+1,200 Reales) |
| Smuggler’s Den | Sink the Frigate using a mortar shot |
| Hunter Gatherer | Sink one of the two required Hunter Ships using a mortar |
A Spanish Plague, Silk On The Waves, Driftwood, Contraband, and The Final Contract have no separate bonus objective attached.
The two contracts with special requirements
Two contracts won’t trigger under normal conditions, so it helps to know their catch before you sail out.
Hunter Gatherer asks you to sink Hunter Ships, and those ships only spawn when you have an active wanted level. Raise your wanted level to at least level 1 first, otherwise the target ships never appear and the contract cannot progress.
The Final Contract is locked until every other contract is cleared. Once all 14 others are complete, it becomes available from Milo by the manor in Great Inagua. Finishing it rewards the Handsome Devils Crew Attire (Rare) and the Black Skull Sails (Legendary).
Confirming you cleared them all
You know a contract is done when its icon clears from the quest log and the Reales land in your pocket, plus any bonus payout if you met the secondary challenge. Because The Final Contract only appears after the other 14 are complete, seeing it unlock is your signal that the whole set is finished.
Wrapping up every Naval Contract counts toward 100% completion and hands over the Black Skull Sails alongside the Handsome Devils Crew Attire, giving the Jackdaw a distinctive look to match the extra Reales in your hold.
